Yahoo has hired Alex Stamos, the man behind the security conference TrustyCon, as its new chief of information, according to reports.
Stamos will start work on March 10 and he will report directly to Yahoo chief Marissa Mayer, the Re/Code reported. Stamos, who organized TrustyCon, a one-day security conference held last week in San Francisco, is also the chief technical officer of domain-hosting company Artemis Internet. He also founded security and consulting firm iSEC Partners.
TrustyCon was born from backlash against the RSA Conference, run by the security arm of EMC. Reuters reported that the group had used encryption technology with a "back door" to let U.S. National Security Agency agents gain access for a $10 million check, according to the report. Security professionals wanted to boycott the conference but also see a similar conference -- and that's how TrustyCon was organized. (RSA has denied the Reuters report.)
U.S. & World
Yahoo declined to comment on the hire. However, its last chief information officer, Justin Somaini, left in January 2013 to be a vice president at cloud storage company Box. The post has been open for more than a year.
So is starting a conference the way to get big Silicon Valley companies to notice you? Job-hunters take heed.

The Discussion
Great interview:
Corrinne's passion & intelligence are kind of motivating, hope I can reach that level of confidence in my programming knowledge and experience.
- Lots of technical insight from someone at the top
- First insight into any of the engineers at 343 (get a community site, ye slowpokes)
Guess this interview meant a little extra to me, because it has been my motivation to fufill the dream of being a programmer at Bungie (which 343 is certainly close to, for now).Hope ye do more of these.
Yeah this is maybe one of the best interviews I've seen on C9. I'm working on an XNA 3D engine right now for fun targeting the Xbox 360 and this was so inspiring.
Edit: Thanks for asking my question.
awsome stuff
love to see more game development content here on channel9,both talking about history and technical deep dives into how stuff works, and actual development stuff with xna and d3d and whatever
Very interesting interview. The constant zooming in and out was a little distracting though.
It would be more professional if Corrinne was dressed more modestly.
it would be more professional if we ignored some aspects of who was on camera.
IMHO her dress was just fine. no where near some of the stuff i have seen.
but I was trained in my youth to not drool over a nice looking lady.
Really interesting interview, I agree.
And talk about a dream-girl, smart and extremely beautiful (I don't think there is anythign wrong with stating someone is beautiful).
I disagree with you, fugerrest and I agree with DN2002.
Let me say that neither her expertise and knowledge nor inerest in game programming that made me click on this video. There were two other great reasons for why I viewed this. And tell you what I am out of here.
and you can't even copy my name without mis-spelling it?
um, yeah. Great interview. Dress was a bit unprofessional...
Great interview!
I wonder if Corrine is thinking of languages like Single-Assignment C or more along the lines of D.
(Assuming the Larry Osterman interview will be of similar quality then we'll be in for a treat )
Great technical (for me) insight on some aspects of game programming. Glad to see some real concern about bugs, sometimes a simple bug might break the complete game experience.
I would also like to see some opinions on D for game programming, that's one of the fields it seems promising.
I can't believe you guys would be so ... argh. This woman has played a key role in creating many of my all time favorite games. She'd school just about anyone and you're focusing on her clothing. Pathetic. Her clothing is not the least bit unprofessional, you are.
Great Interview. Definitely instilled some motivation.
Her expertise and knowledge of development was..wow.
Would like to see more like this.
She is hot, beautiful and intelligent. I dont think there is any fault in saying that.
I see some of them have been knocked down by her personality
About dressing it is for her to decide what suits her professionally...
honestly I was admiring everything about her...
What's with all the unprofessional outfit comments? this is game development not accounting, how many game dev interviews have you seen with developers wearing a suit? (hint the answer is 0) pretty much everyone I've seen has been a T shirt wearing (you're lucky if it's clean) guy, you people are sexist, she is casually dressed for a casual work environment.
My thoughts exactly. I haven't seen any negative comments about Eric Meijer's choice of clothing (and I don't have any complaints, I like his personality).
Great interview, real informative. Though whatever happened to those other interviews Tina was going to do?
totaly agree..
focusing on anything but the knowledge and skillz conveyed in this interview is what's unprofessional.
i would think niners had more sense
Someone should erase those comments.
Great interview, lots of information about your career. The video was a little hard to watch as the person shooting it just keep zooming in and out constantly.
Thanks guys for your unenlightened comments (those critiquing her looks and dress). You should be ashamed of yourselves. She's obviously far more intelligent and talented than you or I could ever be. It's one thing to think those things, another to write them as comments. Grow up, and stop being unprofessional yourselves. This sort of behaviour is very possibly why we have so few women working in software development.
People criticizing her dress are pathetic. Can't believe it, and hopefully she doesn't care about these comments.
Anways, she is incredibly smart it seems. I still can't believe how bad ODST/Halo3 look when compared to other big games out there.
I really wonder who thought it was a good idea to keep the zoom pumping - they should apologize on camera: If you deem your pictures not interesting enough to keep the camera stable then don't bother and do an audio only interview instead. I seriously hope this ain't becoming the standard for C9 interviews now…
She makes me wish I had gone into 3d programming back when I was punching Fortran
Nice interview, very informative. When she was talking about languages and how she thinks we're going to see a new version of C that can do more, Google Go immediately popped into mind, we'll see if that catches on.
I watched the short version on my 360 then went on to this site to watch the whole interview. There needs to be more technical interviews like this. I really enjoy em.
Very good interview by an extreamly intelligent and beautiful woman. Watched the short version on Xbox Live, then came here for the full. I love how detailed and technical she was. That is something that's missing from many game programming/design interviews.
This woman is amazing... it's like her blood and soul oozes programming... She is the flesh reincarnation of programming itself! So inspirational, as I'm female and it's rare to see a woman speaking out here like she is. I'm a new fan!
you are such a loser. unprofessional? because a beautiful woman with nice breasts wears clothes that are flattering she is considered unprofessional? i think you need a reality check, plus you see the size of that ring on her finger, i think her husband could care less
@RedSev7en: Does she dress that way at work? If so, that is the female version of sexual harrassment by showing her breasts, wear makeup, and overall, exercise her sexual personal power? If any male takes notice or makes the "wrong" comment, he can lose his job. Very unprofessional to bring such a risk to the workplace.
For all the naysayers that say women can not be (good/successful) programmers, this person is clearly proof of the opposite. Respect! :)

Dear poets,
Modern poetry is sick. It's dying in its hospice bed and we should walk away from its cranky carcass before the stench of colostomy and muscle rub leaves us brainless. It's not like we're in the will anyway.
From the image of its corpse I propose a new direction for poetry. For the last century we've been tied into a strangulating mode of creating, producing, and promoting poetry. To wit: Artsy poets write impenetrable crap; Artsy journals with tiny circulations publish it (Poetry has a circulation of 30,000 – why do we want our work in it? Not because we want readers), no one reads the publications or the poems in them, and the publication line on a CV gets artsy poets jobs where they teach impressionable others that accessible poetry is evil and their excrement is the only rose worth smelling.
I propose, instead, the following solution:
To change how poetry is made, consumed, and thought of. This means altering the production, distribution, and acceptance of modern poetry. I will deal with each aspect of the solution individually.
1: Production
To change production of poetry we need to shift toward narrative verse. This is an easy task, as nearly all poetry published today is lyric poetry. Almost no one is writing or publishing narrative verse. This alone can explain the marginal state of modern poetry because people love stories. They crave them. They pay billions of dollars a year on movies, cable bills, novels, and video games just to experience stories. But they don't turn to poetry. Why? Poetry can tell a story with such power that the reader or listener's body chemistry alters to fit the rhythm of the line. Nothing else can do this. But people don't think of poetry because poetry no longer tells stories; it no longer entertains; it has become art for a dying art's sake. When we ignore narrative verse in favor of the lyric we are depriving poetry of its natural audience.
Part of the reason has to do with today's imbalance of lyric and narrative poetry. Lyric poetry is poetry that describes objects, feelings, and abstract concepts. Examples range from Shakespeare's "Sonnet CXXX" to Keats's "Ode on a Grecian Urn" to Eliot's "Ash Wednesday" to Ashbery's "Just Walking Around." Narrative verse is poetry that tells a story – from Poe's "Annabel Lee" to Jarrell's "The Death of the Ball Turret Gunner" to Forche's "The Colonel" to Homer's Odyssey.
Poetry traditionally has had its greatest and widest appeal when there was a balance between lyric and narrative verse. No such balance exists today. In the pages of the major poetry journals you will find many pretty words and almost no stories. Month after month, quarter after quarter, publications print variations on the same ideas and wonder why their circulations remain insignificant. Readers are drawn to stories in a way that descriptions and ponderings can never match. The power of narrative verse keeps them reading and teaches them how to read poetry, so that they may enjoy both narrative and lyric verse. When there is no substantial volume of narrative verse to entice readers, interest in poetry subsides.
While an overemphasis on lyric verse is not the sole problem of contemporary poetry, it has allowed poets to ignore not only the structure of narrative but any structure at all. In writing narrative verse, we must never fall into the trap set by modernists and sprung by language========= poets and new formalists – that how the poem is saying something is more important that what it says. It is this emphasis on form and formlessness at the expense of content that drives away the lay reader of poetry. We can avoid this trap by committing our narrative verse to five points:
Our verse must:
be clear
be timely
be memorable
be in the common tongue
bring us together.
For our verse to be clear it must be fathomable on the first read. This does not mean that our verse cannot be complex. Indeed, it must be unless we wish to be some soulless versifier. But complexity is only a part of the picture. If no one can possibly understand our poems without a decoder ring, we're doing it wrong. Most readers don't want to decode poetry – they just want a good story. If a good story is there, they will read it. If it can be peeled and peeled, revealing layers like Eliot's multifoliate rose, then we have done a good job.
For our verse to be timely, it must be relevant to people working and paying and living and dying right now. It must depend on neither allusions from mythology, nor private experiences but be firmly secured in the present. Personal demons and classical gods may be important and relevant to the poem-at-hand but they are without meaning if they cannot be made relevant to the reader.
For our verse to be memorable, it must be beautiful, both in sound and image. If we aren't writing our poetry with an ear for how it sounds out loud, we aren't writing poetry. Furthermore, if our beautiful word symphony doesn't make any sense, we're writing music, not poetry. Poetry is the syzygy of image, sound, and form – all three must be in balance to have a poem. We must also strive to make our poems ring in the ears of our audience. We should ask ourselves and our first readers "what lines from this poem are memorable?" Then we should work our words until its lines stick in our readers' heads like hooks in a pop song.
For our verse to be in the common tongue, it must be written the way we speak. Why do we eschew contractions in poetry? Why do we embrace archaic reversals or literary paper language? No one speaks that way – and as poetry is in many ways a perfection of speech, we must reflect and perfect current speech patterns. Listeners should hear our poetry and tell themselves "this is the way I would speak."
For our verse to bring us together, it must be uplifting. This is not to say that that we can't tackle difficult or deep or depressing subjects, quite the contrary. What poetry should do is present difficult subjects in such a way that hope is offered to the world. Remember that "The Waste Land," for all its bleak obtuseness, ends with a prayer that all will be well. Poetry cannot be uplifting if it is engaged in self-referential navel-gazing. Solipsistic, pretentious, and inscrutable poems serve only to confuse, confound, and drive away readers.
2: Distribution
Print is not dead. It is, however, brainwashed. Less than three million books of poetry sold last year. Mainstream publishers rightly ignore it. Moreover, small poetry presses are entirely subsidized by universities, endowments, and/or contests. This means they are beholden to the establishment and to publishing arcane academic poems. They don't care about accessibility, the public, or promoting what they publish because their survival doesn't depend upon these things.
Luckily, we are left with the internet, a largely maligned section of publishing with the academy – but we aren't trying to get tenure; we are trying to change poetry. The internet affords us a much easier way to distribute poetry in its natural form – as audio. We can create videos with text to accompany readings, embed .mp3s of readings into web pages – there are nearly limitless ways online to bring poetry back to what it should be – something that both sounds and means good.
If you worry that internet publishing means we won't be getting paid for our poetry or able to control our copyrights, then you need only to look at homestarrunner.com, xkcd.com, or giantitp.com. These websites wholly support their creators through distributing creative content. People will pay for good content. Just like Radiohead's In Rainbows, distributing content for free only means that more people will come in contact with your work. If it is good, they will find some way to reward you – buying shirts, hitting a paypal donation button, etc. Any of these nontraditional forms of payment far exceed payments by poetry publications. Strong Verse is perhaps the only online publication that pays its authors ($10 a poem) and The New Yorker, the highest paying poetry publication pays only $150 per poem. Allowing our audience to pay us directly for our work will, even with a handful of readers, easily outstrip these token payments. But don't worry about money – worry about your work and your readers.
There are five major internet outlets for distributing poetry:
Emails are a simple and effective way to get our poems out to people. How many forwards do we get a day? Though we don't read most of them, what if one of them was the opening lines of "The Charge of the Light Brigade"? Would we keep reading? Would we pass it on? A great poem is certainly better than a story about how Barack Obama doesn't say the pledge or how someone's cousin made money by forwarding "this very same email!" If we make a list of our contacts and send them a poem, they can keep it or not, but we may delight our friends and relatives with our words. We shouldn't deny them the chance to love what we say.
YouTube is its valuable because we can harness its unique power to distribute poetry in its primal, aural form. The accompanying visuals can be anything – us reading, a background with text, a "poetry video" – it doesn't matter. What does matter is that YouTube allows us to get great poems into the public mind. If people will watch a father singing about his kids to the tune of "Canon in D", they will listen to a well-written, body-moving poem – and forward it to their friends.
We should each have a blog (I have two). We should comment and post on our blogs and forward them to others, digg them, etc. We should also find other poetry blogs and comment on them, contact their authors, and present our ideas. If we are not communicating with the world of poets, we cannot change poetry – and if we are not communicating with the reading public, we will never convince them that poetry has changed.
We should be promoting accessible, narrative verse on poetry forums. But we must be careful in a world of flame wars not to engage or defend ourselves against the blind and the stupid. We can't get caught up in pointless arguments – if it is clear that the people in the forum don't care what we have to say, it is time to move on without looking back.
"Websites" covers a lot of ground. This category can be broken into networking websites – like myspace.com, meetup.org, and facebook.com; publishing websites – everything from strongverse.org to nytimes.com; filter websites like digg.com and reddit.com; and personal websites.
With networking websites like myspace.com, we can find like-minded good writers and show them the world is not wholly against them. We can also distribute our poems to friends who will, especially with encouragement, forward them on to their friends. If we can just make a poem as interesting as a survey, we will have hit gold.
Publishing websites as a category is best divided into new and established sites. We should create our own publishing websites in order to directly control the distribution and promotion of our work. Established poetry sites, like Strong Verse and Loch Raven Review may be responsive to our work and reviews. Large media sites like nytimes.com and National Review Online will be interested in any content that will bring new users to their advertisers.
Digg.com, reddit.com, and del.icio.us are websites that allow users to popularize web content by sharing and voting up interesting sites. These filter websites are a great tool for spreading the word. If you have a personal website or edit a publishing website, adding digg and reddit buttons to your site will help increase your visibility. A concentrated effort by even a few dozen readers will get our poems linked on these pages – and every time someone clicks that link and finds a beautiful, clear, narrative poem, we will have gained another reader.
Personal websites are, of course, your website with your name – gmpalmer.com (not that I've done anything with it. . .). These should be biographic with links and texts of poems we've already published (we should distribute new content through the above channels). These are best suited for disseminating information and philosophies – controlling what we say and believe before others can do it for us.
3: Acceptance
Once our work has begun to take hold in the world of readers and writers, we can begin to work toward canonization, that is, formal acceptance of clear, narrative verse. This will be a difficult process, as a great part of the Modernist ethos was the denigration of accessible, narrative poetry.
Canonization is achieved through two different ways. The first is textual – reviews, scholarly papers, etc. The second is positional – faculty postings, leading workshops, etc.
Written canonization begins with simple praise of our work and distributing it to as wide a readership as possible. After this begins, we can write and elicit reviews of our work. Reviews should be seen two ways. First we should make an effort to review each others work in online and print journals. This has been a core tactic of all literary movements. We should also work to get our poems reviewed by established critics. This will increase both our work's legitimacy and visibility. After reviews come scholarly papers. These range from informal college essays to theses, dissertations, and books of critical theory. Though we may not have much control over this last category, we may be able to influence friends currently in school to look our way for research material.
Parallel to these written forms of canonization are inclusion in conferences and workshops, positions on the faculty of universities and textbook selection committees, and inclusion on textbook and anthology creation committees. Here we can directly influence both writers and readers in a much more direct way. Canonization is a far-away goal, to be sure, but any steps we can take – from writing reviews to teaching others to getting on textbook committees will be invaluable.
This will all be a lot of work, I know. But if you're dissatisfied with the empty poems you see touted as fresh and new – if you want to work to make poetry relevant to the two hundred million Americans who read, email me and let's get started discussing how to do what needs to be done.

A Declaration on the Revision of Poetry
Dear poets,
26 comments:
- WorldClassPoet said...
Great commentary. I agree with much of what you said, although I would not go strictly narrative. My views are more synergistic. While I appreciate and believe in narrative verse, I would not abandon the lyric. Read my series on Millennial Poetics at World Class Poetry Blog.

I don't think he meant to imply going strictly narrative, just that it needs to make a serious comeback.
"Poetry traditionally has had its greatest and widest appeal when there was a balance between lyric and narrative verse."

Worldclass -- thanks for the link. I hope we can synergize.
Robert -- thanks for clearing up that point -- I don't mean we should abandon lyric poetry, just that we should be sure to write narrative poetry.

Also -- you may have come across this livejournal post:
In case she deletes it, here is my reply:
I don't have an active LJ account, so I'll just use the anonymous button,
but this is me, GM Palmer.
First of all, what do you mean by nepotism? I have no prior relationship with the people that have posted my declaration.
Secondly, what is wrong with audacity?
Thirdly -- the poets you mention. I hadn't read them, but now I have. I like a lot of Fulton, Duhamel is not terrible but boring, Valentine is empty and boring, and Powell is utter crap.
Fourthly -- I am "anti-intellectual" only in that I am "anti-establishment." Poetry has grown stale and nearly unimportant (ref: my blog on poetry book sales) because it is so obsessed with being clever.
also -- Poetry isn't a genre. It's one of the two forms of writing -- Poetry and Prose. Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Creative Non Fiction -- those are genres and can be done either as poetry or prose. Furthermore, the idea that one has to learn a genre like a language is laughable. If a literate person has to learn how to read your work you are doing something wrong.
Fifthly -- you want to actually give some examples of narrative poetry's "dominance" in the market? It's certainly not the dominant style in Poetry Magazine.
Sixthly -- you quote a bunch of dead people in a Norton's to show how narrative poetry is dominant. Duh. I'm not talking about dead people. I'm talking about people and poetry RIGHT NOW. When I say "modern poetry is sick" I mean poetry today.
Your last point about teaching all kinds of poetry is excellent and I agree one hundred percent.
Now, for the "worse" things I've said:
Besides synapse being a bit stalkery,
Yes, I belong to a Republicans for Obama group. I joined before I had heard of Ron Paul. Yes, I am a Ron Paul supporter. Yes, I am a registered Republican (because I live in Florida, a state with closed primaries). My quote about abortion reflects the notion that it is not protected in the Constitution, nor should it be federally regulated.
And finally, if you "can't handle me" because you don't like my opinions, you are truly of a small mind.
Peace and hoping I'm wrong about that last bit,

That was the most snide and hateful thing I've read in recent memory. Of course she posts her opinion on her Livejournal soapbox, where her friends can nod and pat her on the back, instead responding here in plain sight to you.

I should say that LB and I have continued our conversation on her livejournal page and it has become much less "snide and hateful" to quote Robert.

Thanks for this post, Michael. I think I agree with Robert - we're severely lacking in narrative poetry these days, and we need to fight for its survival.
[To change production of poetry we need to shift toward narrative verse.]
My first thought when I read that sentence was, "Ah - so THAT'S why most bites I get are from speculative fiction magazines." Those are the venues these days that are unafraid of publishing narrative verse. My primary frustration at the moment is that magazines like The Rialto, Poetry London, and Poetry Review keep rejecting me (and I mean to the tune of four or five times apiece now), and I can't seem to figure out why (seeing as I'm having considerable success elsewhere). However, when I think about the main bulk of what they publish - i.e. lyric poetry - it suddenly starts to make sense.

Please check over my set of narrative poems and see if this in any way alters the course of our poetic culture.

While I don't mind linking to your work here, I hope you also don't mind a bit of criticism.
Mostly I would say good for you -- you're tackling interesting subjects and certainly writing verse.
But what I don't see in the poems that I'm reading is a sense of audience -- the rhythm isn't there, the poems are overlong, they don't pull you in. Have you read these live?
Narrative is great but my ultimate goal is to make poetry both art and audience driven. This requires two things in equal measure 1) an impressive amount of technical skill and 2) a sense of an audience, what they want and need and what they will respond to.

Mr. Palmer:
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for posting this! I find myself feeling the same way after reading some incomprehensible poetry and getting rejection slips myself.
I write for two entities: the reader and myself.
Poetry should be for the people.
I've added strongverse.org to my blog roll.
Many thanks for writing and posting this.

I agree with you about returning
to narrative verse, and I've written
four books of largely narrative verse. Reviewers have ignored me.
That's life and I would like a movement to restore narrative verse.
I recently read "Gilgamesh" for the first time--actually I read two translations. It's wonderful narrative verse. The story was gripping. The style was terrific. I liked it much better than Beowulf or the Iliad. Three cheers for Gilgamesh.
I also think that the vast majority of readers could care less about endless wads of lyric poetry and even less about language school. Narrative verse if really good could help return an audience to poetry.

I just found you today, quite by accident, and I'm delighted to say that I read "Prosady" on Strong Verse, and also "Declaration on the Revision of Poetry." then I went earching for your blog...I mentor a budding poet and sent her both of these pieces. They're wonderful tutorials, and I will certainly inform other writer/blogger/friends about you. I write a great deal of narrative poetry but that doesn't mean it's not lyrical...my first collection, Cooking Lessons, published by Rock Press can attest to this. I'm working on a new poetry ms. and therfore wanted to thank you for your informative and helpful blogs. Check out my blog when you get a chance--A Writer's Blog: Food and Poetry--is there anything bettr in life?

Sure agree with your poition on narrative.
Another thing in short supply is humor; not ha ha humor but smile and nod and occasionally chuckle humor. Poets as a rule take themselves rather seriously and the younger they are the worse it gets.
Poetry is fun. It teaches you to think about what you see and feel.
Enjoyed the commentary.

Hi G.M.,
This was a refreshing read, a call to arms.
I am at work on a four-volume verse memoir about expatriate childhood in Europe during the Kennedy years. (The Trojan Tricycle, book one, The Little Germaniad.) I have been posting the first as two or three quatrains daily on twitter.com/formanex. The story climaxes with an iffy border crossing from East Germany a few nights before the Berlin Wall was raised, 50 years ago. Don't you think someone would want to publish it? Please have a look & let me know what you think of it so far.
Keep up the good fight!

Hi, G.M.,
I realize your post is old, but I've just now found it, and I find that it's still very relevant. I'm a narrative poet. Storytelling for me is THE way to make sense of the world, and if it's in poetry, all the better! Short, accessible, our lives. That's what matters. Great thoughts on distribution too, esp. in this quickly and oddly shifting business of publishing. In the event you do check it out, I hope you find my work to fit your criteria--accessibility, engaging. Thanks, G.M.

I definitely think narrative poetry is under-represented in print, and I like what you say about the appeal of story, especially when combined with the power of image. Where I disagree is in your sweeping statements about modern poetry in general and the prescriptive nature of your response. Shouldn't the form fit the content? I wouldn't want to write an elegy in narrative verse or woo my lover, but if my subject is historical the poem might fall into narrative.
I'm intrigued by your idea of using the internet to publish, but I still see it mostly as a promotional tool. We are all marketing managers these days! Some people are comfortable reading on a tablet or Kindle but others still want a physical book, so the question remains about how to print. Self-publishing, while okay for the emerging musician, still has the bad rap of vanity publishing for writers.
Your piece has produced a lot of discussion so you must have hit on something. It will be interesting to see how this period of literary history plays out. Good luck with your book.

Ha! 7 years later, I stumble upon your blog post as per Googling "Nobody wants to read narrative in verse," a quote from a critic I forget the name of. Anyway, thank you for defending narrative poetry and storytelling. My favorite author (admittedly, I'm a poet who reads more fiction than verse) Nicholson Baker says, "Good poets are essayists who write very short essays." My poems are flash memoirs, sometimes fiction, written in verse with straight talk synthesized with lyric, very sparse on the lyric. What's been problematic is I'm an MFA student right now and am learning from some world class narrative poet professors; however, my peers in the program–– Yikes! Pretty but idle words on paper communicating nothing but contemplations on nothingness with just as many abstract nouns I used in saying that, poems that can be summed up in few words. A recent classmate poem: House looked like this, burned down, then looked like this. Family went to visit. There might have been a deer, too. END. That's the summary, but it was a lengthy piece with nothing but copycat trickery and fruit metaphors. My poems––usually stories about a has-been or should've been who gets lucky sometimes, written in a self-defecating manner––are frowned upon. I've been told I don't disorient the reader enough, that I'm just a hack flash writer who breaks stuff into verse, et cetera. Sigh. Poetry. How ridiculous it has become. Props to you, too, for championing Ron Paul! Noticed that in a comment. So close back in 2008! Dang it.

Title:Advent 2, Dec. 6, 2015
Advent 2, Dec. 6, 2015 (full size gallery)
A crisp morning in Second Advent – clear but chilly with a layer of frost
The first weekend in Advent has many community events. Some of us went to the University of Mary Washington combined orchestra and chorus on Friday, Dec. 4. Many old favorites were included, some new settings and the traditional sing along at the end .
The next night, Historic Port Royal scheduled their first trolley tour visiting two homes for plenty of food and fellowship and ending up at the Portrait Gallery. Many parishioners had key roles. Cookie led the tour. The Heimbachs house was featured and brought alive by entertainers Jim and Helmut. Marilyn was featured as harp soloist at the Farmer household. Other parishioners were part of the crowd – Cherry, Woody, Clarence and Betty.
We recognized the birthday of two members of one of our newest families – the Felicianos, in this case Talia and mother Linette. Their son has been on our military prayer list.
During the announcements, Woody and Cherry advertised the "Everett Christmas" next weekend. Attendance has increased from 30 the first year to 42 last year. They are hoping to reach 50 which in that case they would get Marilyn to play her harp.
Catherine highlighted the church's Family/family Nepal connection. We are helping a family after that experience their home lost after the devastating earthquake last April. David Caprara of Global Peace Foundation who took a day to find our family and deliver our letter will be here talk about how we can develop the program.
Catherine reiterated the Altarpiece capital campaign after the kickoff last Sunday, Nov. 29 when Cleo Mullins described the project.
Helmut said he had received a thank you from social service for the men's participation in purchasing Thanksgiving dinner for two families. Next Sunday is the last day to contribute toward their Christmas help for two families.
Coffee hour was led by a team – the Faibisys, Cookie, Eunice and the Wisdoms. It featured two soups – potato soup with bacon, chile, a choice of vegetables, brie and desserts featuring fudge and cookies. Today was St. Nicholas Day and we had a picture when Helmut played the part Dec., 2010.
Our Second Advent readings affirm the coming of a deliverer, the Messiah. Malachi announces the approach of God's messenger, who will refine like fire. Baruch calls for the exiles to celebrate their return home. Paul reminds us to wait for Jesus' return in glory. In today's gospel, John the Baptist prepares the way for Jesus' public ministry, calling his listeners to repentance.
The sermon focused on the Old Testament readings from Malachi. Malachi was the last book of the Jewish prophets. "The times were turbulent. Judah was only a small insignificant place in the sweep of the great Persian Empire that ruled over that part of the world."
"Where was the Lord in the lives of the people of Israel? Malachi told them that the Lord they sought would suddenly come into the temple and purify the priests, the descendants of Levi, so that they could do a better job of cultivating God's presence in the temple."
The image from the scripture is vivid – "For he is like a refiner's fire and like fullers' soap; he will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver, and he will purify the descendants of Levi and refine them like gold and silver, until they present offerings to the LORD in righteousness. "
"The season of Advent calls us to exactly this sort of purification, this preparing of the way for Jesus to come into our hearts, our home, and our church so that we can share our gifts of love with God and one another as fully and as richly as possible—so that we can share that gift of the abounding, merciful and compassionate love that God has for us and that we have for one another –so that we can share this gift of love like sharing with one another refined gold and silver."
One focus of the sermon was on silence – "But we could deepen our listening for God and more intentionally prepare the way for God to come to us by also practicing the art of simply being silent when we gather. The kind of silence I'm talking about is not just an empty space to be dreaded and filled as quickly as possible.I'm talking about creating a reverent, hopeful and spacious silence—a welcoming silence into which we may hear God speaking to us."
"When you came in, you may have noted the signs on the church doors. "Let us be silent that we may hear the whisper of God." Now we all know that sounds help us hear God and feel God's presence—music, loving words spoken to one another, scripture being read aloud, the sound of the river, the rustle of the wind in the trees, birds singing—of course, God speaks to us through sound. And we're attuned to those ways of hearing God"
"That sort of silence is restoring, life giving, renewing and also refining, because it's the spacious sort of silence that allows us to wait on God with reverence and with hope. Silence gives us the space to hear the refining things that God has to say to each one of us and to us a congregation."
"Last week I spoke about the abounding love that we share with one another in this congregation, and how that abounding love that we intentionally share with one another is one of the ways that we prepare to stand before God on the last day. Today, I'm offering all of us the opportunity to deepen that abounding love we already have for one another by being intentional about offering one another yet another gift—the gift of the reverent and expectant silence"
"So here's what I propose—that we move our conversation, business, and catching up with one another to right after the service—to continue to use our space for that purpose, but to
adjust the time in which we do that—at the end of the service, rather than at the beginning."
"Silence after readings, after the sermon, during the prayers, before the confession, a
silent prayer before receiving the bread of heaven—all of these silences give us space to hear
God speaking with tender compassion not only to us as individuals, but to us as a
"Where is God today? God is here among us, not only in our abounding love for one another, spoken aloud, but also in the gift of silence that we can graciously give to one another, the kind of silence that gives God the space among us to refine us and draw us ever more closely to one another and to God."

For decades, basic office software didn't pose any major questions for IT departments - you bought Microsoft Office, and then worked on keeping it up-to-date, because there simply wasn't much else available that made sense for the enterprise. By the mid-1990s, Microsoft had ruthlessly dispatched competitors like Novell and was essentially unchallenged in the enterprise software market.
Over the past several years, however, Microsoft's dominion over productivity software use at the organizational level has been slowly but steadily eroded, due in large part to the emergence of a new cloud-based competitor, in the form of Google Apps.
+ MORE ON NETWORK WORLD Productivity showdown: Google Apps or Office 365? +
Google asserts that 5 million businesses use Apps, and that the number of re-sellers topped 10,000 earlier this year. The company is also aggressively trying to drum up further business, earlier this month announcing a bonus referral program for existing customers.
Shaw International, a long-standing flooring manufacturer and distributor, is a Google Apps customer, using the product to connect 22,000 employees around the world. The company had been looking for a replacement for its Lotus Notes-based infrastructure since the mid-2000s, according to enterprise technology architecture and planning manager Jim Nielsen.
Initially, he says, Google Apps didn't seem like the complete package.
"Google came onto the radar as an email replacement, but not much else," Nielsen says. "And we watched with great interest, and actually met with Google about their plans" in 2007.
From the outset, Shaw was looking to move to the cloud, according to Nielsen. But other companies - including Microsoft and IBM - didn't impress with their cloud-based solutions at the time. And so the project was delayed. By the time Shaw was ready to pull the trigger, in 2010, the team had it narrowed down to Google and Microsoft, and a cost analysis made Google look like an easy victor.
"What we saw was a stark contrast in additional spend," Nielsen says.
The simple, one-size-fits-all licensing terms appealed strongly to Shaw, as well.
"Imagine an employee base of 22,000 people, trying to figure out what each person's going to need from day to day," he says.
Sept. 1, 2011 saw the deal finalized, and the response from above was positive, Nielsen says.
"Our CIO and the director for IT were in a meeting and the way that they posed it to the executive steering committee was 'are you tired of all the downtime with email?' And everybody was like 'yes!'" he says.
Forrester Research senior analyst TJ Keitt says Google's rise in the business world has been somewhat delayed by the company's consumer focus but adds that that focus may be becoming an asset, rather than a liability.
"From the Google perspective, enterprise applications have historically been overwrought, and designed not with a person in mind, but this concept of a business user," he says. "So they're unfriendly, they're hard to use, and they provide capabilities that someone will never actually get to use."
In contrast, Google Apps was designed with ease of use in mind what's more, it has improved since 2007, Keitt says. People are taking another look, due in large part to Google's productivity offerings reaching a threshold of usability for the enterprise.
It's crucial for organizations making the jump to Google Apps to look before they leap, of course. According to the co-founder and CTO of Synergize, a Toronto startup that offers training software for new Google Apps users, being organized is crucial.
"The No.1 thing to know when switching to Google Apps is having an effective change management plan," says Majid Manzarpour. "You want to make sure you are covering your communication and rollout strategy effectively, and have a solid training plan and post deployment strategy for handling ongoing changes made to Google Apps."
Manzarpour cites educational institutions as being among the most enthusiastic adopters of Google Apps unsurprising given that Google's special version of the service for schools is offered free of charge. At College of the Holy Cross, a small, exclusive undergraduate college in Worcester, Mass., the initial decision was driven by a need to replace a somewhat ad hoc email infrastructure.
"Our solution at the time was this sort of mix of open-source tools, for an email gateway security solution, and that worked sometimes and didn't work other times," says the school's information security officer, David Shettler.
Holy Cross has been a Google Apps user since 2011, having started by porting the roughly 3,000 student body to Gmail, and began transitioning faculty and staff a year later.
"It was a long process smooth in the sense that we got through it with very few complaints, and everyone got to retain their email," says Shettler. "We were a bit surprised that the impact was relatively low."
That's atypical, according to Forrester's Keitt. "For a lot of organizations, the level of disruption associated with going Google' in the workforce creates problems - just human disinclination to change, presents a lot of those problems," he says. "Then there's the fact that it just doesn't operate the same as Outlook or Exchange, and the integrations aren't the same."
While a new email setup was the main idea behind the switch for Holy Cross, Shettler says that many other parts of Google Apps are "fantastic."
"The collaboration stuff is great we're seeing an increased usage of it. People didn't understand it at first it's not Word, so there's a learning curve," Shettler says.
Part of the reason the switch went relatively smoothly, he adds, is that Holy Cross didn't completely rip-and-replace where its productivity software is concerned. The school is still a Microsoft customer, partially because Google Docs, according to Shettler, still doesn't match up well against Office.
"For writing an academic paper, for instance, where you're using specific citation styles, if you're conforming to APA citations or whatnot, Google Drive isn't there," he says.
Colleges aren't the only educational institutions using Google Apps, either The Hannibal, Missouri public school system has been using the service for about three years.
Unlike at Holy Cross, the main concern that Hannibal's schools hoped to overcome was productivity software fragmentation, according to technology director Patrick Harrison.
"We have Microsoft Office products on many of our computers, but there are various versions, running all the way back to Office 2000. Lots of 2003, lots of 2007," he says. "Some of them, it's not so backwards- or forwards-compatible. So as kids make documents and move from classroom to classroom, there was no guarantee that they were going to be able to deal with what they had been creating in an Office product in the very next room they go to."
Google Docs fixed that problem, unifying documents under a single system and putting them into the cloud, to boot. But the changes didn't happen overnight, nor did they happen smoothly.
"It was kind of a rough transition," Harrison says. "It was implemented and information went out to faculty and staff hey, this is here, this is how you use it,' and that was the end of it. It literally just kind of languished for several months after that and we were off for break for three months."
It took extensive training and "many, many workshops," he says, to get teachers to use Google Apps, and it's only recently that students have started to come around.
"This year is the first year that it's really been used in the classroom, with the kids. And those teachers that are doing that are seeing a lot of neat things the kids are very much engaged, they're interested," says Harrison. Some classes now turn in assignments via Google Docs, he adds.
The public-cloud architecture of the Hannibal Public Schools' Google Apps installation is a typical reason cited by businesses that use the framework, according to Keitt.
"We're at a point where the vast majority of businesses that we survey say that they at least have the intention to put something into a cloud environment," he says.
Probably Google Apps' most famous organizational customers, however, have been government institutions. The city of Los Angeles was the first major city in the U.S. to make the switch, but others have since followed suit, including Pittsburgh, Omaha, St. Louis, Des Moines, Orlando, and most recently, Boston.
That city's outgoing CIO, Bill Oates, said in an official blog post earlier this year that 76,000 email accounts had been moved from a "collection" of different on-premise systems to Google Apps.
"Going Google on such a large scale has many benefits. We gained reliability and security compared to our prior configuration of Microsoft Exchange servers, which required extensive upkeep, upgrades and patches," he wrote.
The State of Maryland had similar problems, according to deputy CIO Greg Urban.
"We had 55, 60 different [email] systems in the state every department was running their own email system, essentially," he said.This disjointed user base made even the most trivial tasks a headache, he added. For instance, a simple welcome email to all state employees had to go out to each of the dozens of separate email lists used by all the agencies.
"The governor has an open house every year," says Urban. "[And] it was a huge effort to get a mailing list full of mailing lists [together] to get to all the people."
Unlike most other institutional Google Apps users, the state of Maryland elected to make the transition to the new system entirely on its own - eschewing the usual practice of hiring professional consultants.
Urban says that the idea was to force IT staffers to learn the nuts-and-bolts of Google Apps as they went."They [Google] thought we were crazy at first," he says. "They joke that we'd be one of the better Google partners if we weren't a state agency. We do have so much knowledge of the product and its capabilities."
Google has itself been a good partner, according to Urban.
"They're not making it up as they go along," he says. "It's a very robust, well-run infrastructure, and the feature sets just roll out. You get new features and that's great, because we find, in our state government environment, you end up with a lot of old stuff."

How many DB professionals have never had to deal with bitwise operations in SQL Server? Who has never had a single value in the database represent more than one data value? Have you ever had one of these fields serve as the(implicit or explicit) foreign key to a source table?
Sometimes it can seem a bit tricky dealing with such data – especially the last. I'm not going to delve into the complexity of such scenarios. I do want to present a basic intro however.
There are three basic operators for bitwise operations. The operators are &, |, and ^. These operators perform logical operations against integer type data. Here is an example of what each would return when using the same values:
[codesyntax lang="tsql"]
select 175&75 as BitAnd, 175|75 as BitOr, 175^75 as BitXOr
[codesyntax lang="tsql"]
BitAnd BitOr BitXOr

When performing a Bit & operation, the bits in the result are set to 1 if and only if both bits (for the current bit being resolved) in the input expressions have a value of 1. Any other combination results in a 0.
When performing a Bit | operation, the bits in the result are set to 1 if either of the corresponding bits is a 1. A 0 is returned when both values are 0 in the corresponding bit.
When performing a Bit ^ operation, the bits in the result are set to a value of 1 if 1 of the two bits (but not both) has a value of 1. Any other combination (either all 0s or all 1s) will result in a value of 0.
As I work with this a bit, I will be sharing a particular scenario that has been quite interesting for me.

March Perspective
Posted in Perspectives and Windermere by Windermere Guest Author
Late one evening at the office, we wandered onto the topic of college applications and the sheer amount of paperwork involved. A session of family one-upmanship ensued: Who dealt with the most convoluted stack of forms? With a collective sigh, we finally agreed that all of them are tedious. But they just have to be done.

Pet Hates.
I expect this has been done here before, but I'll give it a bash anyway.
What drives you up the wall, what's incredibly annoying, etc. Here goes with a few of mine.
In the home:
Cushions, why do women have an obssesion with putting loads of cushions all over chairs and sofas that are ergonomically designed to be used as is.
Why do some drivers stop at roundabouts and wait until somebody comes along that they can give way to?
Being passed on the inside by some twat using an active bus lane.
At work:
Being emailed by an idiot who sits ten feet away and hasn't got the manners to come and speak to me.
Hype, jargon and plain bad English. Terms like "window of opportunity" and "at the end of the day" And, a word I really, really hate "confidentiality", things are done in confidence or are confidential. This horrible word "confidentiality" was imported into this country from America by Tory MP Gerald Navarro back in the sixties and he was ridiculed at the time, unfortunately it stuck!
The above are just a few of my niggles. Anybody out there with more?

Brief summary of evidence supporting the efficacy of biofeedback for headache
There are simply too many studies to note even a fraction of them. Yucha and Gilbert (2004) and Sherman (2004) reviewed the studies supporting efficacy of this therapy and found a plethora of fine work ranging from double blind controlled studies to clinical studies. Comparative studies show that biofeedback is as good or better than any medication. Long term follow-up studies show that the treatments last for most people as long as they continue to practice the techniques learned during therapy. People who had biofeedback therapy were more likely to continue to use it than people taking any particular medication were likely to continue taking that medication. Pain from jaw problems is treated effectively if the pain is due to problems in the muscles but not if the problem is in the jaw joint itself.
Studies do not support the efficacy of biofeedback for all kinds of headaches. The evidence supporting its use with migraines brought on by trauma, cluster headaches, and menstrual headaches is much weaker. There is no evidence supporting its effectiveness for trigeminal neuralgia, jaw joint problems, etc.
Efficacy of biofeedback for migraine: A meta-analysis by Yvonne Nestoriuc, Alexandra Martin of Philipps-University of Marburg, Section for Clinical Psychology and Psychotherapy, Gutenbergstr. 18,35032 Marburg, Germany; published in Pain 128: 111 - 127, 2007.
The authors reviewed the publications on the use of temperature, muscle tension, and pulse biofeedback for migraine. By combining data from similar studies, they were able to confirm that biofeedback is highly efficacious in the treatment of migraine relative to various types of controls.

Ms. Oxy: "Hi, I need to make an appointment to see Dr. Grumpy."
Mary: "I can help with that. Our next opening is..."
Ms. Oxy: "Wait, before you get to that, I need to know how many Percocets Dr. Grumpy will allow me per month."
Mary: "Did you just ask me..."
Ms. Oxy: "Because my current doc only gives me 150 a month. I'm not going to switch unless you guys make this worth my while. I'm thinking 180 Percocet per month would be enough."
Mary: "Okay, we don't work that way."
Ms. Oxy: "Of course you do. Patients are money to you people, and you need the money. All right, let's say 170 Percocet. I'll settle for that."
Mary: "I think you should stay with your current doctor. It doesn't sound like you're a good match for this practice."
Ms. Oxy: "Okay! 160 Percs a month, and I'll do co-pays in cash, will..."
Mary hung up.

Louis Cruises: Refining the Greek Experience
Louis Cruises considers itself the expert in sailing around Greece and its islands. After all, the Eastern Mediterranean is home for the cruise line, which is based in Piraeus, the port for Athens, and the parent company was founded in Cyprus 78 years ago.
So for 2014, Louis is refining its itineraries and onboard experience to offer what it considers the quintessential Greek experience. "When Americans come over, what are their expectations?" asks Kyriakos Anastassiadis, Louis Cruises' CEO. "They want to come to Greece to experience the culture, the Greek cuisine and wines, the entertainment, and the natural beauty and variety of the islands. We are going to provide a real Greek experience and an immersion into Greek life."
For 2014, Louis is marketing two ships to North Americans — the 1,664-passenger Louis Olympia and the 1,200-passenger Louis Cristal. Both vessels were built in the early 1980s, the Olympia as the Song of America and the Cristal as a ferry named Viking Saga (it later operated as Leeward for Norwegian Cruise Line).
Those two ships might not be the main attraction for some — although they are an attractive size and might be considered classics now — but the itineraries and ambience offered onboard are worth a much closer look.
In 2014, the company is nearly doubling the number of ports it calls on to provide a mix of little-visited isles with such marquee destinations as Mykonos, Crete and Santorini. New destinations for 2014 are Samos, Milos, Syros, Kos, los, Symi and Chios in Greece, and Cesme and Bodrum in Turkey.
"For the last 30 years, the ports in most destinations have remained the same," Anastassiadis says. "As an industry we struggle very hard to get people to come back on our vessels – repeaters. So why would they come back to Greece on a cruise if there are no new places to visit? By providing new destinations, we give passengers the opportunity to come back with us and see something different. Greece has 3,000 islands. About 140 are inhabited, yet only six or eight have been visited. That leaves another 132 waiting to be discovered."
For those who want to explore Greek cuisine, Louis has revamped its menus to focus on the company's Hellenic roots and the local Mediterranean diet, which is considered by many to be the healthiest in the world. Onboard menus now feature more fish, legumes, citrus, salads, vegetables, Greek olive oil and feta cheese. The food is seasoned with local herbs and spices, such as oregano, basil, thyme, rosemary, as well as locally grown saffron from the small town of Krokos and mastic, which is often used in desserts.
"The menus are predominantly Greek cuisine and they will also change with the seasons," Anastassiadis says.
Louis also is eager to work with more North American travel agents and has enhanced its online booking system. Agents earn 10 percent commission or more on the cruises, but also get 10 to 15 percent on shore excursions and pre-booked beverage packages.
"We are giving travel agents the opportunity to sell everything we have," Anastassiadis says. "It just makes the whole experience that much better if the clients leave home and already have their beverage package and shore excursions sorted out. We have a whole raft of packages available so travel agents can provide a complete service to these passengers."
In addition, gratuities will be included in the fares for 2014, equal to about $10 per day, per person. "It makes life easier for everyone and simplifies everything," Anastassiadis says. "It's included in the fare, but in the unlikely event someone doesn't feel the service merits that gratuity, they have the choice to remove or reduce it. But in our experience most people are very happy."

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — Any man can be a dad, but it takes someone special to be a father. The influence a father has on his children is like no other, that's why the New Hanover County Partnership for Fatherhood is focused on helping fathers be the best they can be, so their children can be the best, too.
"Fathers are strong. Fathers are courageous. Fathers are lions," said Partnership for Fatherhood founder and New Hanover County DSS Director LaVaughn Nesmith. "Fathers are leaders. Fathers are strength. You need that, children, girls and boys, need to be identified with the characteristic of a father."
The partnership is a group of community agencies all focused on working together to make sure more children grow up with a responsible, loving father.
"We know that absent parents have a horrible impact on their children," said New Hanover County Chief District Court Judge Jay Corpening. "We know that kids who have absent parents are more likely to be in poverty, more likely to turn to alcohol and drugs, more likely to turn to gangs, more likely to be less successful. We know that."
Corpening believes fathers are the foundation of a home, and a home without a foundation is not a safe place to be. Fathers from all over southeastern North Carolina came to the sixth annual partnership event.
"I just hope and pray that I'm being an impact in their lives, whether I don't get to see them as much because they are on their own and have their own families," father Clark Lane said. "Still, I have to be an impact, a show and tell impact."
Lane said although his children are grown, he knows a father's job is never finished. Corpening said fathers can and should still show and tell the right things even after a divorce or separation.
"They need to be guiding children, working with the moms, whether they are living together or not," Corpening said. "They need to be partners raising children."
The topic of this year's conference was communication, something Nesmith says is crucial not only to individual families but to our whole society.
"If we don't do something about addressing the issue, then we are going to continue to see children lost," Nesmith said.
Nesmith said fathers give families their identities, and children who grow up not knowing who they are will raise children who fall into the same cycle. But he said there's a solution: dads who live up to the role they were meant to play.
Nesmith founded our local partnership after he went to a fatherhood conference in Atlanta many years ago. He believes many of the world's problems stem from the absence of fathers.

This is by far the only veggie lasagna recipe I make now. It is a big hit with vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike. Roasting the veggies adds such a depth of flavor and the combination of the veggies is what makes this recipe such a big hit! I wouldn't change anything about the original.
Sep 30, 2013
I have been using this recipe for the past year and love it. I use just a few more vegetables because they get so small after roasting them. I also like to make sure the top has a lot of cheese and to get it brown and bubbly. Very good recipe.
Oct 2, 2011
I loved this recipe! Eggplant was replacedwith parboiled carrots, cut lengthwise into1/4" slices. Next time I will increase thevegetables & sauce. Yummy!
Feb 1, 2010
This was so delicious. Even if you don't like eggplant, you will love this recipe. I used a real egg. I was skeptical about the no-cook lasagna noodles, but they worked. I think it's because there is so much liquid in the veggies, and the noodles just soak it up, so the whole dish is alive with flavor. I also like using the Italian shredded four-cheese blend when I make anything that calls for mozzarella. I like a rich, pungent cheese flavor. And, there are no substitutes for fresh basil in a recipe like this one. :)
